CHICAGO, LII, May 2I.-Open markets were
devoid of interesting features. June wheat
light, and wheat became very duh with June
at SSc. Deferred options were rather firmly
held. but there were no outbidders on board of
any description. The crowd were not disposed
to do anything st all, while the clique bid Sc
for wheat al day. There were AIDES at SIS C.
June wheat closed at SS6SS15c and July at S6zsc.
An evening paper saws: About ,000, 600 bushels
Minneapolis wheat been already arranged for,
by tra1ers. This comes at the 715c rail rate,
and Is said to pay 15zC profit On the other
hand the clique is reported to have taken time
by the forelock and TO have arranged TO pay for
even more of Minneapolis wheat than this.
Corn was the only product that showed any
firmness st the opening. Early Jzadings were
corn settled back into the same state of leth-
argy which characterized the rest of the market.
About noon July sold off 20 4lc, which was
lowest of the day, closed at 407sG4Gc. There
was very little change in provisions at the
opening. July ribs sold ct 81 80. July lard at
Sc so. During the day trading in provisions
was dull and July ribs sagged off 10 81 Z2i5 Hnd
July lard 10 S. TX. At the close July ribs
firmed up and closed at 81 PIX Leading fu-
lures closed as follows: Wheat = %.
